Product details
Overview
MAX9052AESA+ from Analog Devices is a dual micropower comparator with integrated 2.500V precision voltage reference in an 8-pin SO package. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, draws only 55µA typical supply current, features rail-to-rail inputs/outputs, ±3mV internal hysteresis, and 400ns propagation delay - ideal for battery-powered precision threshold detection in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9052AESA+ datasheet, MAX9052AESA+ pinout, MAX9052AESA+ application, or MAX9052AESA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified circuit role (dual comparator + reference), package mapping (SO-8), pin function validation, A-grade accuracy (±0.4% ref, 6ppm/°C tempco), and real-world design trade-offs versus alternatives.
Technical Context
The MAX9052AESA+ integrates two independent comparators sharing one laser-trimmed series-mode voltage reference. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages from VEE – 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V, with 1.0pA typical input bias current and ±0.5mV typical input offset voltage. The output stage delivers rail-to-rail push-pull operation capable of sinking and sourcing up to 8mA.
Reference regulation is achieved via proprietary curvature-correction circuitry and thin-film resistors, enabling stable 2.500V output with ±0.4% initial accuracy (A grade), 6ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and load regulation of 2–4µV/µA across ±500µA. It remains stable with capacitive loads up to 4.7nF without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V single supply - enables direct interface with Li-ion battery systems and 3.3V/5V logic rails. |
| Supply Current (Typ) | 55µA at VCC = 2.7V - extends battery life in always-on sensing nodes beyond 10 years at 10µA average system load. |
| Reference Output | 2.500V ±0.4% (A grade) - eliminates need for external trimming in precision ADC reference or sensor biasing circuits. |
| Propagation Delay | 400ns at 100mV overdrive - supports fast response in overvoltage/undervoltage lockout and motor phase detection. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5mV (typ), ±7.0mV (max, -40°C to +85°C) - ensures accurate window detection down to ±10mV thresholds. |
| Common-Mode Range | VEE – 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V - allows direct sensing of signals beyond supply rails, e.g., thermocouple outputs or shunt-based current monitoring. |

Applications
| Battery Protection Circuit | Industrial Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring cell voltage in 2S Li-ion packs to trigger charge/discharge cutoff and overvoltage protection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator compares cell voltage against 2.500V reference to generate precise high/low thresholds; REF provides stable reference for both channels. Use Value: Eliminates external voltage dividers and reference ICs, reducing BOM count by 3 components while maintaining ±10mV trip accuracy over temperature. | Use Scenario: Converting RTD or thermistor resistance changes into digital on/off signals for HVAC control logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator detects upper temperature limit using REF as threshold; second monitors lower limit or fault condition. Use Value: 400ns propagation delay enables response within 1ms to rapid thermal transients; rail-to-rail inputs accept conditioned sensor outputs directly. |
| Medical Pulse Oximeter | Programmable Logic Supply Monitor |
Use Scenario: Detecting LED drive current pulses and photodiode signal zero-crossings in wearable SpO₂ sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparators process synchronized IR/red LED timing and ambient light rejection windows using shared 2.500V REF. Use Value: 55µA quiescent current extends wearable device runtime; internal hysteresis rejects EMI-induced noise on photodiode traces. | Use Scenario: Validating FPGA or microcontroller core supply (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V) before configuration and during brownout conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reference voltage sets precise undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold; dual outputs enable separate power-good and reset assertion. Use Value: A-grade 0.4% reference accuracy ensures UVLO triggers at exactly 95% nominal voltage - preventing premature resets or unsafe operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator + reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9052BEUA | Same dual comparator + 2.500V reference, but in 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm); B-grade reference (±1% accuracy, 100ppm/°C tempco). | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where ±1% reference tolerance is acceptable; smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance. | Select when board space is constrained and reference stability requirements are relaxed to 100ppm/°C. |
| TLV3702IDR | Dual comparator only (no integrated reference); requires external 2.5V reference (e.g., REF3025); 85µA supply current; 360ns propagation delay. | Used where reference flexibility is needed (e.g., adjustable thresholds) or where existing reference ICs are already deployed in BOM. | Select when system already includes a precision reference or when independent reference scaling is required per channel. |
Compared with MAX9052BEUA, the MAX9052AESA+ offers tighter reference accuracy and lower tempco at the cost of larger SO-8 footprint; compared with TLV3702IDR, it reduces component count and layout complexity but fixes reference voltage at 2.500V.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage accuracy and temperature coefficient of the MAX9052AESA+?
The MAX9052AESA+ features an A-grade 2.500V reference with ±0.4% initial accuracy over temperature and a typical temperature coefficient of 6ppm/°C. This specification is guaranteed across the full operating range of -40°C to +85°C and enables high-precision thresholding without external calibration. The MAX9052AESA+ reference remains stable under capacitive loads up to 4.7nF.
Does the MAX9052AESA+ support rail-to-rail input and output operation?
Yes, the MAX9052AESA+ supports rail-to-rail input operation with a common-mode range extending 0.25V beyond both supply rails (VEE – 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V), and rail-to-rail push-pull output operation capable of sinking and sourcing up to 8mA. This allows direct interfacing with low-voltage sensors and logic families without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the supply current consumption of the MAX9052AESA+ at different supply voltages?
The MAX9052AESA+ consumes 55µA typical supply current at VCC = 2.7V and 60µA typical at VCC = 5V. These values reflect quiescent operation with no output switching; dynamic current increases only marginally (<5µA) even at 100kHz switching frequency due to its optimized output stage design.
Can the MAX9052AESA+ be used in window comparator configurations?
Yes, the MAX9052AESA+ is well-suited for window comparator applications. Its dual independent comparators share a single precision 2.500V reference, allowing one comparator to monitor the upper threshold and the other the lower threshold. Internal ±3mV hysteresis prevents oscillation on slow-moving inputs, and uncommitted INB– and INA– pins support flexible input routing.
What package type and pin count does the MAX9052AESA+ use?
The MAX9052AESA+ uses an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with standard 150-mil body width and 1.27mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is identified by a beveled corner or dot.
